According to one popular myth, the word “cocktail” derives from the use of roosters’ tails to garnish beverages in Colonial America. Whatever your cocktail, wine or beer needs, forgo the convenience market and shop at a liquor store for the biggest selection. Here are some popular terms in the world of liquor stores.

Aging – Some spirits, such as whiskey, are aged in wood barrels. Wine and port are aged in the bottles you buy them in. Age does not necessarily make the spirit better.

Liquor – Liquor is a distilled (rather than fermented) spirit. Examples include rum, distilled from molasses, vodka, distilled from potatoes, and gin, which is flavored with juniper for a piney taste.

Liquor Laws – Liquor laws vary by state and county. These laws regulate such variables as who can sell alcohol, at what times, and how it must leave the store (usually, in a bag). The variance on liquor laws in great; in some states you can buy alcohol from a drug store at 7 am, and in other states, you can’t buy any alcohol on Sunday. In Wisconsin, minors can consume liquor under supervision.

Mixer – A mixer is the part of a cocktail that isn’t alcoholic. Juice and carbonated drinks are popular mixers. You can also buy premade mixers such as daiquiri and Bloody Mary mixes.

Proof – “Proof” refers to how much alcohol is in the beverage, listed by percentage. Beer is typically at about five percent, malted beer is around 7-9 percent, and liquor is close to 80 proof.

Wholesale – The sale of wholesale spirits is usually limited to licensed vendors. However, you can find wholesale and discount prices online, or look for discounts when buying drinks by the case.
